Translate the quotient of \(p\) and \(6\) into an algebraic expression.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The operation word “quotient” signals division, and the named quantities keep their order. Make p the dividend and six the divisor, then write that relationship with a fraction bar. Reading the result aloud as “p divided by six” checks that the numerator and denominator were not reversed.
